HONOLULU, HAWAII: Ladies and gentlemen, we now know the final three contestants on Jenn Tran's season of 'The Bachelorette.' At this stage, it seems the 26-year-old Vietnamese American could potentially get engaged to any one of her remaining suitors! It seems that leading contender Devin Strader is considering leaving the show early. Despite his frequent confessions of love for Jenn, she has not reciprocated his feelings.

Following his Fantasy Suite date, Devin began to doubt if he was the right fit for Jenn. He decided to be "brutally honest" with her, but the episode ended just as he reached her door. Although Devin is considering exiting 'The Bachelorette', he stays in the competition for a significant period. According to Reality Steve, ultimately wins the season, with Jenn selecting him and the two getting engaged! While many fans currently believe Devin will be the one to propose, they might be mistaken. Host Jesse Palmer has hinted that Jenn will make a unique decision, unlike any Bachelorette before her. As a result, some fans are speculating that Jenn might be the one to propose instead.

Will Jenn Tran propose to Devin Strader in 'The Bachelorette' Season 21 finale?

In the season's official trailer, Jenn is seen at the final rose ceremony. As she places the rose down, her voiceover reveals her determination, stating, "What I'm about to do today is something that I never thought I would ever do starting this journey. I know what I want, I know what I deserve, and I have to do what's right for me."

The trailer also shows a candid conversation between Jenn and Jesse Palmer, where she expresses her resolve to stop allowing men to control her relationships. "No Bachelorette has ever done this before, are you sure you wanna do this?" he questioned, to which Jenn responded, "You have to make the choice."

The trailer for the upcoming part of the season teases a surprising moment, with Jenn saying, "I can't let you propose to me," likely directed at Devin. Many Bachelor Nation fans believe that the physician's assistant student might propose to Devin. However, Reality Steve offers a more humorous twist. In a podcast episode from August 20, he speculated that Jenn might tell Devin she can’t accept his proposal until she first declares her love for him.
